When Zhao Juan and others heard that there was still breakfast to be had, they followed happily into the kitchen.

As the head of the Xi family, Tian Cuihe has been the matron of a high-ranking family for many years. She is usually kind and amiable, but now she talks with an air of air and full of momentum, giving people a sense of oppression that must be obeyed.

"Girls, this is your first time to work, and it is also your first time to deal with me. Let me talk about the ugly things first. The salary our family pays is twelve cents a day, and we also give more or less during holidays.

If you do well, you will be given some grain as a reward. If you do well, you will be given a penny a day as a reward every six months."

As soon as Tian Cuihe said these words, Zhao Juan and the other three's eyes lit up.

As long as they work well, it's equivalent to thirteen cents a day?

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, we will do a good job!"

Zhao Juan nodded firmly with eyes full of strength: "Such a good opportunity can fall on us because you are kind-hearted and willing to give us the opportunity. We will definitely work hard and live up to expectations!"

"But if the job is not done well, we will replace him!"

Tian Cuihe's usually gentle eyes suddenly sharpened, and his voice was slightly cold: "If you dare to reveal any details and steps of our egg and seedling hatching to others, we will definitely investigate the responsibility and send it to the government, and we will not be lenient!"

Tian Cuihe's voice was not high, but it made people tremble all over.

Zhao Juan hurriedly patted her chest and assured: "Sister-in-law Cuihe, don't worry, we are all honest people and will never betray our employer!"

Wang Xiangxiang also nodded: "Neither can I."

Hu Juhua then expressed her position: "If sister-in-law is worried, just give us your fingerprints."

This sentence played into Tian Cuihe's wish. She took out the regulations she had written yesterday and read them word for word to Zhao Juan and the others. Then she said: "If you don't have any objections, just put your fingerprints on this and you will be able to write

If you have a name, you can also write your name and press it.”

How many peasant women in the village can read?

However, their family was bare and had nothing to offer, so they had nothing to be plotted against by the Xi family, so they all took their fingerprints readily.

After breakfast, Tian Cuihe said: "Today is your first time here, so I will make breakfast for you. We all work happily, but unless there are special circumstances, our family does not provide meals. Noon.

I’ll give you half an hour to go home for dinner.”

The salary of twelve cents a day is already quite high for peasant women, and they also get food during the holidays, and they can also receive awards every six months. This is already an excellent treatment for them.

How dare you ask for food from the Xi family?

Chi Xi and Tian Cuihe carefully taught Zhao Juan and the others how to make a fire, control the indoor temperature, the number and intervals of turning eggs, and ventilate the room on time. After explaining everything clearly, Chi Xi was about to make lunch when Butler Liu

coming.

This time he not only brought chickens, ducks and goose seedlings, but also brought some good or bad news.

"Mrs. Xi, is your husband at home?"

Butler Liu smiled brightly and said, "I came back this time to ask Mr. Xi to go back with me. The prefect came to our county. After eating the chicken he sent, he was full of praises and wanted to make friends with Mr. Xi."

Chi Xi knew that Xi Dazhuang did not want to deal with the government, so he smiled and replied: "What a coincidence, my husband went to the county seat early in the morning and can't come back before dark."

Liu Chunsheng looked regretful: "That's it!"

Then he added: "I wonder if Mr. Xi will be free tomorrow? The prefect will stay in our county for three days before going back. If he is free tomorrow, please invite him to our master's house to talk."

Chi Xi said with a smile: "My husband-in-law has been busy all day, and I don't know if he will be free tomorrow. Butler Liu will go sit in the room. When he comes back, I will tell him about this."

Liu Chunsheng felt that if Xi Dazhuang knew that the prefect wanted to make friends, he would definitely not refuse, so he smiled and stepped into the house.

Chixi entertained him with good tea and water, exchanged Miaozi with him, stayed for a meal, and then sent him out politely.

Tian Cuihe stepped forward and asked Chi Xi: "Just now I seemed to hear what he said, Lord Prefect?"

Chi Xi nodded: "He said that the prefect intends to make friends with Brother Da Zhuang."

Tian Cuihe's brows instantly wrinkled: "What's the point of making friends with Da Zhuang?"

"She said she was full of praise for the chickens we sold." Chi Xi said, "I'll make a decision on this matter when Brother Da Zhuang comes back."

Tian Cuihe was worried.

When Xi Dazhuang returned home, night fell, and dim candlelight flickered in the house. Chi Xi prepared the meal. As soon as Xi Dazhuang entered the house, she hurriedly scooped hot water into the basin and said with a smile: "The weather is getting colder now, first. Wash your hands with hot water to warm them up."

Xi Dazhuang laughed and put the cakes he bought specially to make people happy on the table. He squatted down and washed his hands. He felt a lot warmer all over. Tian Cuihe had already placed the dishes and chopsticks: "Wash your hands and come over for dinner. You came back so late today. , but what happened?"

Xi Dazhuang pulled Chi Xi to the table. He reached out to take the rice handed over by Tian Cuihe and whispered: "I met an acquaintance, so I just said a few words."

"acquaintance?"

Tian Cuihe made a move.

Xi Dazhuang nodded: "Zhang Xiongtian."

Tian Cuihe breathed a sigh of relief. After sitting down, Xi Dazhuang and Chi Xi also sat down. After finishing the meal, Xi Dazhuang gave half of the cake to his mother and then took Chi Xi to wash up and go to bed.

Lying on the bed, Chi Xi told Xi Dazhuang what Liu Chunsheng said. Xi Dazhuang was silent for a moment, then turned sideways and hugged Chi Xi into his arms, and whispered: "Although I have no intention of making friends with any eunuchs, Liu Yuan's wife does have Let’s go there.”

Chi Xi didn't ask why she had to go to Liu Yuan's wife's house. She rubbed her furry head against Xi's broad chest and asked in a low voice: "You met Zhang Xiongtian today, but what did you say?"

"Tsk."

Xi Dazhuang narrowed his eyes slightly and said quietly: "He lent me money."

"Borrow money?"

Chi Xi was a little stunned, with a look of doubt on his face: "Isn't he lending you money to treat Chi Tao'er?"

Xi Dazhuang nodded: "Yes."

Chi Xi remembered that Xi Dazhuang said that Chi Taoer's injury was not serious and there was no fear for her life, but she would need to rest for a while before she could recover.

"Is he really determined to get involved with Chi Tao'er?" Chi Xi narrowed his eyes slightly and said quietly: "I'm not targeting anyone, I just feel that if he gets involved with Chi Tao'er in the future, we can't Leave him here again."

Chi Taoer is an all-pervasive person, and if she finds even the slightest possibility, she will turn into a monster.

If Zhang Xiongtian is still retained, Chi Taoer will be able to take advantage of it if he is not fully protected.

Xi Dazhuang agreed: "I have made it clear to him that when he comes back from the county, I will let him pack his things and leave."

The fact that Zhang Xiongtian took Chi Taoer to the county town for medical treatment and threatened to marry her had nothing to do with the Xi family, and Xi Dazhuang would not care about such trivial matters.
